I caught this movie on TV the other day. Hadn't seen it in years. Good movie. Anyway, after watching I immediately went to your site to see if you had this film listed and, of course, you did. Sweet! Thing is, I'm surprised you have no listing (or even a mention of, along with a "Still searching for this location") for the house where Swayzak (J.T. Walsh) lived. This is the place where Donald (Robert DeNiro) got impaled on the fence out front. Have you ever searched for and/or found this place? A house number is visible in the movie; it's 306.

The final scene where the fire truck pulls out of the station for the last time in the movie, it appears to pull out on a big boulevard. If you look at the fire station location at S Sacramento Ave & W 42nd St on google maps, the street looks completely different. Is this because of new construction in the area over the lat 20 years, or is it a simple movie edit?

A firefighter buddy and I were poking around in the building on Cermak used for the Chemical Plant fire. We found a building right across the alley from there that was also abandoned. It was the building used for the Garment Factory. We found the hole cut in the floor for the "You Go, We Go" scene. We also found a trash bag full of scripts and screen shot paperwork, which I still have to this day.

bmollenhauer, would you be interested ingetting rid of that stuff? I am looking for any photos or memoribila from this movie. Please email me at bengel2658@yahoo.com if you would like to get rid of any of that stuff.Thank you very much,92fspx4

Locker room scenes were shot on the second floor of an unused firehouse at 14th and Michigan in Chicago. It is now the Chicago Firehouse restaurant.

The party boat with Swayzak was The Spirit of Chicago which is berthed at Navy Pier.

Fire Department repair shops was located at 31st and Sacramento in Chicago but has since been relocated to Fleet Maintenance a huge facility at North and Throop in Chicago.

Roof caving in scene was shot on the roof of a parking garage at The South Loop Marketplace at Roosevelt and Clinton in Chicago. This location has been demolished.

Elevator Shaft scene was a set built and slowly lowered into the Main North High School pool at 9511 West Harrison in DesPlaines, IL.

Interiors for the chemical factory, Stephen carrying kid out of fire, office fire that burned Tim and a few others were done at the Chicago Studio City located at 5660 West Taylor in Chicago. The building that housed the actual fire scenes has been torn down because of unsafe conditions.

The interior of the Chinatown firehouse (De Niro office) was an out of service fire house located at 43rd and Paulina.

The chemical fire was filmed at the old Cuneo Press bldg.,which was the scene of a major 5-11 fire on April 14,1989.The fireboat used was the Joseph Medill,Engine 37,which now is a stripped hulk in Escanaba,Mi.

The elevator shaft scene was shot in the high dive well of Rehm Pool in Oak Park! The scene was built over the top. As the fall weather had gotten much cooler the week of filming, the crew needed to put hot packs atop the water. Outstanding crew & cast! Fabulous Chicago film!!!

Media is reporting that one of the fire stations used in filming has burned down today. The address given is 1401 S. Michigan Ave but that's not one of them shown on this page. When, if at all, was this firehouse used in the movie?

We live close to the McCaffery house and remember sitting in the backyard while copters hovered over the filming. Didn't know until the movie came out that was happening, back in the pre-internet days!!
